The Sega Master System, long-rumored to be the latest addition to the Wii's Virtual Console lineup in the U.S., has finally been confirmed. The first two games coming our way will be Wonder Boy and Fantasy Zone, although no release date was announced. The pricing for the games was revealed, however, and it looks as though Master System games will be the cheapest on the VC at 400 points ($4) a pop.

Fantasy Zone is a colorful side-scrolling shooter, a genre which the VC is in dire need of. But if there is anything the service needs more then another shooter, it's another Wonder Boy game. Sorry for the bitterness, I just can't wait for Phantasy Star.

Master System games have already made their way to Japan, but no word yet on whether or not they will be coming to Europe. But hey, you guys get the Commodore 64. Want to trade?
